😆 When I Saw This I Laughed Or At Least I Smiled Or At Least I Wasn’t Bored MK II

It’s hard to keep up with all the changes around as we age badly into the long dark night.

One moment of recognition that the old days haven’t fully gone can be a source of great joy.

In an age when everyone has a Degree, let us give thanks that

I’m not questioning her credentials. I just find it hard to accept the headline premise of the article which suggests their readers naturally aspire to the stratospheric levels of good taste displayed by such world renowned connoisseurs as the Beckhams and Ed Sheeran. :smile::smile::smile:

Given what the Beckhams are drinking according to that article, then they have very good taste indeed

They are Daily FAIL readers. Stop applying logic!

I am at present wearing a black shirt does that make me a Daily Fail reader?

Nonsense. I remember once I was hoovering the bedroom floor in my nightshirt when I inadvertently tripped over…:frowning:

Whenever I cook, I am deemed to have left the cooker dirty and spilt smears, or possible grease on the floor. Both these are invisible to the naked eye but abundantly obvious to the lady of the house.

So, cursing me, she painstakingly rectifies the invisible awful mess. If I deny it was there, it makes matters worse. If I admit to leaving so much as a grain of salt visible, I get “Well if you can see it why didn’t you clean it up?”

Which leaves the option of confessing (even if there is nothing to confess) and insisting I’ve tried to clean it up. Which results in sarcastic laughter. And a suggestion that she should do the cooking so there isn’t a mess. Agreeing to that would be fatal: "I’ve got to cook and clean up now!'. And I actually like cooking and I’m good it it. My problem is that I don’t recognise the kitchen is a pristine work of art and using it can’t be tolerated.

There is no clearer lose, lose, lose situation.

You could quote Terry, the Fawlty Towers chef…“the better the restaurant, the filthier the kitchen.”

Just looked that up. Bizarrely, I have just last night finished reading Down and Out in Paris and London. Picked up a copy in Camden Lock a couple of weeks ago.

We have an award winning cook here at Slowlane Mansion, whoops I mean chef, so I do nothing.

Alphonso says he worked in Britain’s first 5 star Pirelli restaurant. His hands are always reassuringly filthy. :slight_smile:
